The minipig model is of high interest for brain research in nutrition and
associated pathologies considering the similarities to human nutritional
physiology, brain structures and functions1,2
. In the context of a gustatory
stimulation paradigm, fMRI can provide crucial information about the sensory,
cognitive and hedonic integration of exteroceptive stimuli in healthy and
pathological nutritional conditions. To date, this is the first intent to
describe gustatory stimulation in minipigs using fMRI.
